Choco's mission is to lead a change in one of the oldest industries on the planet.
The restaurant industry has seen vast technological innovations throughout the last decade, yet the state of supply chain ordering and administration does not reflect this. Restaurants are still using archaic paperwork to order from suppliers, and this has the tendency to become clunky, inaccurate, and result in food waste. Choco exists to improve this situation by connecting restaurants and suppliers through its food ecosystem management software.
Choco isn't the only company to notice the potential for disruption in this space, but it has taken a unique approach by providing bespoke inventory applications and analytical tools to both restaurants and suppliers. It has a large and rapidly growing userbase and its supply chain now links more than 30,000 businesses, with more than £1.2 billion in goods traded on its platform.
Choco raised large amounts of capital in several funding rounds and achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. It has eyes on expansion, currently working with clients across the U.S. and Europe but planning to begin operations in South America, the Middle East, and Asia in the near future.

At Choco, I have had had several one on one meetings with my managers where I am able to sit and speak freely about my progress and any challenges I have faced. They do not sugar coat anything, they treat me with respect and are very honest about how I am doing. I feel very comfortable sharing my opinions about anything to my bosses. This communication is all around the office as well, everyone is always open to discuss anything and take our ideas seriously. Overall, it is a phenomenal fun place to work where everybody is truly transparent.

During my one on ones with my managers or peers, I always come out learning something. They are always very productive meetings and there are a lot of sessions accessible to us that we can join to learn about different fields. Everyone is always learning and the office is always buzzing with new ideas.

I started at Choco 2 years ago working with our go-to-market teams, moving from city to city to work directly with chefs (our userbase!!). In just a short period of time, I have made a total career transition to work in the Talent space with the help of supportive managers, autonomous practices, and dynamic people.

One of our other core values is Team. Team-first, team-focused. There is nothing more important than our team if we want to create a local, yet global value system. This is felt at all levels starting from the top.
